Dublin Events this Weekend

When your classmates were dreaming about their white weddings, were you busy thinking about all of the conventions you were going to break when your time rolled around? If so, a wedding festival for you exists, and it’s on its way to The Chocolate Factory.

The ad hoc comedy stylings of Irish comedy knockout Alison Spittle are on their way to Whelan’s, where for less than the price of a therapy session you can decompress with some of the funniest observational humour around.

A free public tour of the permanent collection in the National Gallery of Ireland. No need to book in advance, just arrive in the Millennium Wing on Sunday at 11.30 for a tour that will take about half an hour.

Love Lego? Join the Brickx Club in City West Hotel and see amazing displays and meetings with master builders, competition entries from around the country, and a raffle with amazing prizes. All proceeds go to Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation and International Orphan Aid Ireland.

With Trainspotting 2 coming out on Jan 27th. Head down to The Sugar Club for a very special screening of the Danny Boyle classic that launched the careers of Ewan Mc Gregor, Robert Carlyle & Co. and put Irvine Welch on the map as a novelist and playwright.

Love! It’s all you need. Open your heart chakra and reconnect with that place that makes you more open to giving and receiving love, especially self love!

This is a workshop in two halves, with a dynamic flowing practice focusing on opening the chest and releasing the shoulders, exploring healthy shoulder alignment. Soften, align, strengthen and stretch the shoulders and upper back. A fiery all-round flow to melt tight muscles with lots of deep internal awareness and a focus on finding stability, mobility and softness in the shoulder area. This will help you feel like you’ve taken a weight off your shoulders.
